The light covers and bonnet are gash (as would the 22" wheel option), but apart from that I don't think it is actually that bad

The car was never a looker to begin with, this is not helping.

Why do journos always slag off anything that is modified, surely its about being different and standing out from the crowd otherwise we might as well all drive model T's. It was a boring car to start off with so what the hell !

Not to keen on the car, but prefer it to the standard Panamera. However do like the stats "493bhp to 571bhp, and torque from 516lb ft to 612lb ft" not bad for a car that most likely started at the same weight as a small cruise liner... Please quote me if im wrong

Suppose if you've got the money and don't want to look like everyone else at the training ground (general stereo-typicalisation there but hey ho!).

I don't like the standard Panamera, but this looks so much better. Now if it was a DTM type bodykit instead...

They actualy made it look worse!! I didnt like it when i saw pictures, but in the flesh i think the standard one is quite handsome and it kind of grows on you.. this bodykitted thing just looks like it should be driving down southall broadway... better off standard..

It was a boring car to start off with so what the hell ! Wouldn't mind a Model T  Seriously, though - if you want to go and put a 5.0-litre V8 into your Capri or a Corvette engine into your TVR, then brilliant. Or if you want to make your [insert random fast Japanese car here] into a track beast by stripping everything out and putting in some trick suspension, then more power to your elbow. But taking a luxury/sports saloon (or SUV), putting on big wheels and a bodykit and plugging in a laptop to re-map the ECU? Puh-lease. There are a few companies (Brabus, Alpina, Ruf, Overfinch or Hartge, maybe) that do genuinely exciting and worthwhile modifications to luxury/sports cars, but these guys are the exceptions rather than the rule...

Yeah! What's wrong with a model T?! They even came in more colours than black (the "any colour you want so long as it's black" is a myth.)
